Brilliant letting one of Scott Pioli's henchmen have his own team to ruin. One of the premier GM jobs in the NFL and it gets handed to a stupid **** who makes three facepalm moves for every good one. Awesome. Just like handing a new Mercedes to a 16 year old girl who's already been in three wrecks.

She is a German shepherd mix. She was born in the pound. Her mom was a full bred shepherd with papers but we don't know her dad.

With how her tail curls and the soft white undercoat we think she has some form of husky. She's smaller than most shepherds so maybe Alaskan husky. Lots of Akita owners ask if she's Akita so there's that too.

Whatever she is, we absolutely love her. We got her at 8 weeks old out of the pound's "foster care" system. From the moment we got her she had health problems--specifically very bad mange mites that caused her to lose most of her fur. At one point the vet didn't think she was going to pull through. But she did. And as you can see from half the pictures, she is always such a happy dog with that goofy smile. She's protective and loving. But she's afraid of the stupidest things. Like lamps. Or styrofoam or plastic bags of any kind. Anything that is slowly falling, like a bag of chips or box of cereal getting locked over.

And she's my dog. Or I am her puppy. Sometimes I'm sure she think I am her puppy and my wife is her den mother. She loves to cuddle. And I don't know what I'd do without her.

My roommate has a german sheppard/ husky mix that has a lot of the same characteristics. He is pretty much the best dog ever.

Took Lola to a dog beach to let her swim because she is still recoverying from a patellar reconstruction. At 55-60 lbs, the knee is slower to heal, so swimming helps a lot. She has always loved the water. However, now she has taken to freaking out about getting in (crying, lunging, out of control). Getting her out of the water is nearly impossible because of her strength and the footing (mud/slime). She is also dog-aggressive when she is in/near the water.

We theorize that she has become water obsessed. She is not herself when she is swimming. She just goes in circles paddling away and is in her own world. She doesn't come or listen at all when she is swimming. We need to catch her, then she plants and tries to get back in.

I was coming to this thread to say I have taught my brindle boxer all the majority of basic commands; sit, stay, lay down, shake, heel, etc but I needed more ideas on advanced ones and this is freaking classic! Dogs are so smart, just like anything it takes time but I have got to look into teaching her this.
